As an ensemble piece, every one of the players and every over the top scene with every move played to please under director Matthew Wiener’s keen eye for comedy, is physical, multi-layered, wonderfully comic, spot on perfect. If you are looking for some fun and you like farce, try this one.

Dense with witty jokes, clever innuendo and slapstick action, Buffalo delivers constant laughs from start until finish. Met with a full house, the whole audience was in stitches the entire time.

Director Matthew Wiener gets the best out of this terrific cast, and together they all keep the balls in the air with panache. ‘Moon Over Buffalo’ is a godsend.

Matthew Wiener who has proven himself to be a bona-fide farcemeister has marshaled a superb ensemble. All have outstanding comic timing and physicality. Downright side-splitting. You could call this one a Funny Valentine to theater.

If you’re a fan of farce, there’s no local theater better for the fast-paced comedies than North Coast Repertory Theatre. The Ken Ludwig backstage comedy has all the elements a crowd-pleasing show — a strong cast, a good door-lined set, well-paced direction and the effervescent atmosphere.
